Customer Reviews for VEVOR Propane Melting Furnace Metal Forge W/ 2KG Graphite Crucible Casting Tool

This item works great. Heat up very fast we had a block of aluminum melted in minutes. We have had a lot of fun with this.

The actual smelting process with the equipment works just fine. Preparing the refractory cement and applying it leaves a lot to be desired. The coating cracked and began to fall apart on the first use. After several uses, I purchased new insulation and cement, and I am in the process of re-coating the smelter.

Fun and easier to use, had a little trouble figuring it out since I am completely green to smelting. All in all with customer service there's nothing bad to say, I'll buy from here again. I would recommend a slightly smaller furnace to the new greenhorn, but that's just me.

For being so low in cost I was expecting something subpar, but was pleasantly surprised at how easy to use and effective it is. The only negative feature I’ve found is the hinge on the lid could be less loose, as the log doesn’t always sit down evenly, but it’s not a major problem. All around a great product for the price it’s at.

I love it. It keeps me entertained and it offers me a good distraction from the everyday drama and bullshit that the world we live in tends to offer. I give it 4.75 stars.

Mine was missing a part but they are sending it to me well worth the money dose wat it is supposta do

Overall, quite happy with the quality and price and in the end, service. HOWEVER, Does NOT ship with a regulator to fit Australian Standard POL cylinders, so not plug and play. Minor thing, 2 of the 3 lugs holding the insulation in the lid were broken off and loose in the box. Refractory cement supplied is barely enough, especially if you do the lid, (probably should not have in hindsight), but not mentioned anywhere in the manual to do or not. I used a 1kg tub of air set refractory mortar from Bunnings (about $25) that finished the supplied mortar very nicely. So for Australia factor in a new 30psi regulator and hose and adaptor and you will have a spare reg if you ever move to America PS Was almost ready to send a much less flattering review but... Vevor has reached out and offered a partial refund that I hope will cover the replacement parts

So this kit is pretty damn good! Only thing is you will want other tongs for the crucible for lifting and pouring

very quick delivery, well packed. The only bugbear is the manual. While fairly informative it has no information on how thick to apply the supplied cement or how to apply. Once this is added to the manual it would gain extra stars.

I bought this for my husband for valentines day and he loves it! He got into melting aluminum and casting ant beds and it's so much better than his homemade foundry. The only cons is the crucible is already cracking and wearing down. I really thought it would last a lot longer. Other than that I have no complaints at all it came so quickly. Way before it was scheduled to arrive. Works great and very convenient for fields with no electricity since it's propane fed.
